A renaissance man with caustic wit and neurotic behavior. Gifted in many media outlets, he composed two string quartets, a piano concerto, a nocturne and a number of contemporary popular songs. Levant suffered under the shadows of his more successful friends and contemporaries George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Vladimir Horowitz. He achieved fame in the 1940s appearing in Hollywood films and recording classical albums for Columbia Records. Levant was one of three sons raised in Pittsburgh by his strict orthodox Russian Jewish parents. Music filled his home when he was a kid and Oscar was able to showcase his piano talents at an early age. As a boy, he provided music for Al Jolson when he was visiting Pittsburgh, PA. At 12, Oscar smoked five-cent cigars and could sight-read music. At 15, he left for New York City to finish his piano studies. In New York, he hit the ragtime and vaudeville stage while hearing Paderewski's judgment that his piano playing lacked soul and artistry. Levant played "flash" piano with dance bands and fell into the Tin Pan Alley set of brilliant composers. In the 1920s, Levant met his idol, George Gershwin. Gershwin used Levant as his rehearsal pianist and treated him as his all-licensed Jester with his witty repartee. Levant's cockiness and word play made him a favorite with New York newspaper columnists such as Walter Winchell who would call Levant and beg him for wonderful one-liners to use in his column. Levant's comedic abilities opened doors to Broadway's rich and powerful. Once he found his appreciative audience, Levant became the master in making people laugh.

Extractions: September/October 2010 Introduction The strength and beauty of his musical accomplishment has long been overshadowed by his public personna. For Oscar Levant, his own music has been silenced by his presumed character: the acerbic crank on the Jack Paar Show; the Broadway showman and Hollywood star; the author of preposterously acute and funny books; the radio and television ringmaster; the concert pianist and Gershwin specialist. No kaleidoscope could serve these many split images. Two decades after his death, the time has come to re-examine his work as a composer of strong and original music. He was, after all, the beneficiary of a powerful education in classical music and piano technique. He studied composition with Arnold Schoenberg and piano with Zygmunt Stojowski. At the height of his career, he performed under the batons of Toscanini, Beecham, Mitropoulos, Reiner, Monteux, and Ormandy.
